Artist Comments
This mixed-media artwork features a portrait of a lady delicately holding a heart against her chest. Her dress is a tapestry of objects and patterns, making a bold statement against the muted background. Created with cast objects, paper cutouts, and acrylic paint, the piece reflects the theme of mystery in romance and finding true love.
About the Artist
Artist Darlene McElroy weaves textural surfaces, found objects, and rich symbolism to create a visual tapestry. "Creating a painting is like doing a puzzle; it is a matter of finding the right pieces," says Darlene. Her works delve into the imagery of man's primal origins, sins, and religious conflicts, inviting viewers to uncover multiple stories within each piece. A Southern California native with roots in a long line of New Mexico artists and musicians, Darlene's artistic vision is profoundly shaped by her Hispanic upbringing. With her three dogs by her side, Darlene works in her home studio, filled with natural light pouring in through the windows. Beyond her art, Darlene explores new techniques, writes art books, and hikes with her pets.
